How is earth’s magnetic field created.

1 answer:

7 0

Our planet's magnetic field is believed to be generated deep down in the Earth's core. The Coriolis force, resulting from the Earth's spin, also causes swirling whirlpools. This flow of liquid iron generates electric currents, which in turn produce magnetic fields.

Hope this helps!

Nuclear power plants have the greatest environmental impact during __________. A) operation B) mining C) waste disposal D) const

lyudmila [28]

The correct option is C.
The issue of disposal of waste of nuclear power plants has been a controversial issue for long because of the hazardous effects which these wastes have on human health and the environment. Most of the waste are usually long lived radioactive wastes which can remain active for a very long time and which have detrimental effect on both the environment and the human health.<span />

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms

ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqeous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and liquid wat

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2SO4 = 5.9 grams

Mass of NaOH = 6.6 grams

Molar mass H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles H2SO4 = 5.9 grams / 98.08 g/mol

Moles H2SO4 = 0.060 moles

Moles NaOH = 6.6 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.165 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.060 moles). NaOH is in excess . There will react 2*0.060 = 0.120 moles

There will remain 0.165 - 0.120 = 0.045 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

For 0.0600 moles H2SO4 we'll have 2*0.0600 = 0.120 moles H2O

Step 6: Calculate mass H2O

Mass H2O = 0.120 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass H2O = 2.16 grams

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams
